I got it today. It's quite pleasant. It's not heavy or too big and it is responsive enough. I installed the Boyue v 1.0.2 update as everyone seems to recommend it here. Works without problem.

PDFs are very important for me. Most of what I read are pdf with scanned books and journal articles. The built-in reader seemed ok with the processes of reading and changing options. Cropping is sloppy though and I kept losing the first lines after cropping even though the line I set is quite above it, but it works once you increase margins to accommodate for this. Reflow worked well actually. But highlighting and annotating did not seem to work in any practical way. It just doesn't recognize the long touch on text (sometimes it moved the page and sometimes it brings up the menu) except every once and a while. I guess the built-in reader is better for epub and only reading of pdfs.

I tried XODO Docs though and it's really good. It does everything the built-in reader promises with pdfs but does it well (crop, zoom, reflow, page turns locked on the zoom, highlight with colors, annotate, underline, strike). I will definitely read all pdfs on this app.

If you can recommend other good reader apps for this device, please do.
